St Lucia Opposition in favour of replacing Queen Elizabeth as head of State

Apr 26, 2016

The main Opposition United Workers Party (UWP) says it plans to make St Lucia a republic if it wins the next general election and replace Britain’s Queen Elizabeth as the island’s head of state.

Addressing party supporters on Sunday, former deputy Commissioner of Police, Hermangild Francis, who has been named as the party’s shadow national security minister, said that the work done on constitutional reform by the late Justice Suzie D’ Auvergne and her team must not be neglected.
